Today I wanted to highlight some of the ceiling light fixtures I have in my home. The people who had this house built chose some hideous fixtures from the 80's even though the house was built in 1998. I'm not even going to go into the non-options this house has. Well...just that there was no garbage disposal and no water hookup for the fridge. 1998, y'all. Let me just say we have a garbage disposal now...yes ma'am. And...I'm pretty lucky 'cause my dad is an electrician and he only lives about 3 miles away. So for me, there is no cost for the installations of these babies.

First...over the kitchen table...

(Don't ask me what that black stuff is on the shade to the left...I didn't notice it until I uploaded the picture here.)

I think this is a way cute light fixture and it looks great in my kitchen, if I do say so myself. And do you know what I paid for it?

Wait for it...

$1.

Yep. You read that correctly. I said $1. It was from my favorite booth at the flea market's dollar table.

For all of you in the 'frustrated cause I don't have a cool flea market like that near me' camp, don't get too mad. It is only a once a year thing. They used to do it in the Spring and Fall, but now...just Spring. I'll let you guys know when it is coming up next Spring, k? :)

I think the South is a wee bit behind with decorating. We moved into our house in Little Rock 1 1/2 years ago, it was also built in 1998. Every light fixture and ceiling fan was brass. Needless to say they were ALL replaced with in a few weeks. The one we have over our kitchen table is very similar to the one you have above yours. Love it.

Hi! I'm Jen...

Seriously... so glad you're here. Can you please leave a comment? So...saving money is my thing. I love to decorate, while saving money. I like to spend time with my family, while saving money. Sound good? We should hang out.
